ST. LOUIS (CN) – St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church has won a long-running battle with the St. Louis Archdiocese for control of its own assets, but will no longer claim to be Roman Catholic.
In a joint statement, the archdiocese said it will dismiss its appeal and that the judgment of the trial court is final. St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Bryan Hettenbach affirmed St. Stanislaus\’ ownership of its property in March last year.
St. Stanislaus agreed to abstain from representing itself as affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. No money changed hands. Attorneys told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the rest of the agreement was confidential.
